SECTION I -- PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION AND THE COMPANY
SECTION II -- HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS
Hazardous Components in the Solid Mixture
INGREDIENT HAZARD STATEMENT - This product contains less than 1% crystalline quartz
(CAS #14808-60-7), which is in a non-respirable form. The product is in granular form, and
packed in bags for use as a desiccant. Therefore, no exposure to quartz or clay dust is
anticipated under normal use of this product.
CARCINOGENICITY
NTP? No
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause lung injury. Unless otherwise noted, all values
are reported as 8-hour Time Weighted Averages (TWA’s) and total dust (particulates only). All
ACGIH TLV’s refer to the 1989-90 Standards. All OSHA PEL’s refer to 49 CFR Part 1910 Air
Contaminants: Final Rule, January 19, 1989.
Material Safety Data Sheet
May be used to comply with
OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard,
29 CFR 1910. 1200. Standard must be
consulted for specific requirements.

SECTION III -- PHYSICAL DATA
SECTION IV -- FIRE EXPLOSION DATA
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD - Negligible fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat
or flame by reaction with incompatible substances.
FLASH POINT - Nonflammable.
FIREFIGHTING MEDIA - Dry chemical, water spray, or foam. For larger fires, use water spray
fog or foam.
FIREFIGHTING - Nonflammable solids, liquids or gasses: Cool containers that are exposed
to flames with water from the side until well after fire is out. For massive fire in enclosed area,
use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and
let fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any
discoloration of the tank due to fire.
SECTION V -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA
This material is normally packaged and contained in a bag. If the bag is open, the resulting
dust is classified a nuisance dust, and may cause health hazards when inhaled, ingested or in
contact with the eyes and skin. Prolonged inhalation may cause irritation to the upper respiratory
tract and/or lung damage. If large amounts are ingested, intestinal disorders may occur. Contact
with eye tissue may result in irritation.
Prolonged or repeated contact with the skin in the absence or proper hygiene may cause
irritation.

silica in the respirable range in excess of the TLV may result in an increase in the risk of serious
respiratory disease. Avoid breathing the dust. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators when the
TLV for crystalline silica may be exceeded.
FIRST AID (INHALATION) - Remove to fresh air immediately. If breathing has stopped, give
artificial respiration. Keep affected person warm and at rest. Get medical attention immediately.
FIRST AID (INGESTION) - If large amounts have been ingested, give emetics to cause
vomiting. Stomach siphon may be applied as well. Milk and fatty acids should be avoided. Get
medical attention immediately.
FIRST AID (EYES) - Wash eyes immediately and carefully for 30 minutes with running water,
lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get prompt medical attention.
FIRST AID (SKIN) - To avoid repeated or prolonged contact with this chemical, use good
hygienic practices. Wash with soap and a large amount of water. Get medical attention if
irritation or inflammation develops
